Common Questions You Might Have

What type of scale to get?

 The Amazon Greater Goods scale is highly recommended for its smart features and accurate readings. Its simple setup and color-coded indicators make it ideal for all users, including the elderly.

Additionally, an exception would be the Blind Weight Scale. It is a user-friendly numberless scale that empowers eating disorder patients to take blind weights virtually, minimizing obstacles on the journey to recovery.

 

How do I weigh myself?

Seeking advice from "Ask The Expert" is recommended and advisable for accurate at-home weighing.

Should I write down what Yossi tells me during the session?

Taking notes during consultations are not needed as Yossi will send a complete menu plan via email. However, taking notes during follow-up sessions is highly recommended for the best experience.

What should be my goal?

Consulting "Ask the Expert" is recommended to accurately define your goal.

How much weight will I'll lose if I follow this plan?

Initially, we don't prioritize numerical figures. It can take up to two weeks to provide an accurate estimate in some cases. However, if it's necessary, Yossi will provide answers. Generally, focusing on numbers isn't helpful for someone who is just starting out.

Choosing a Food Plan

The majority of people being put on "The Classic Diet" and a small number of people do better on "The Lean Protein Diet". 

The Classic Diet follows a structured meal plan where each meal and snack specifies the number of calories to consume. Supper is divided into mains and sides, also with specified calorie counts. Every meal and snack must be healthy and contain adequate protein.

When on this diet, it's crucial to consult before trusting nutrition labels or claims about calorie content in store-bought items. 

The Lean Protein Diet focuses on eating mainly lean protein sources. By sticking to this diet, your body burns fat for energy instead of carbs. With fat providing 9 calories per gram compared to carbs' 4 calories per gram, you can burn more calories—up to 5625 per day on the LPD. However, eating anything not on the LPD sets you back to burning 2500 calories a day for the next two days. For the best results, stick to lean protein for consistent fat burning.

If you think you can determine which diet suits you, that's better for you.

Conclusion

Yossi will email you the food plan along with the rules, guidelines, and FAQs.


Following the initial consultation, Yossi will inquire about your planned meals for the next 24 hours. It is important to begin the plan after the initial consultation, although exceptions can be made in extreme circumstances. Additionally, you will be requested to text your daily food intake, ideally after each meal, as part of the standard protocol. Yossi may also send you images or documents of relevant foods or discussed recipes to further support your plan.

The majority of people are put on "The Classic Diet," which follows a structured meal plan specifying the number of calories for each meal and snack. Supper includes mains and sides with specified calorie counts. Every meal and snack must be healthy and contain adequate protein.

When on this diet, it's crucial to consult before trusting nutrition labels or claims about calorie content in store-bought items.

A smaller number of people do better on "The Lean Protein Diet" (LPD). This diet focuses on eating mainly lean protein sources, shifting your body to burn fat for energy instead of carbs. Fat provides 9 calories per gram compared to carbs' 4 calories per gram, allowing for potentially higher calorie burn—up to 5625 calories per day on the LPD. However, consuming anything not on the LPD resets calorie burning to 2500 calories a day for the next two days. For the best results, stick to lean protein for consistent fat burning.
